Three Days of Pictures

This past weekend was busy. On Friday I had Awstin all day (having switched from my normal Wednesday), on Saturday afternoon and evening I kept Jay & Kristen's children, and on Sunday, Steve and I and Megan and Jeremy, traveled to Penn State for Megan's graduation. Each day I took some pictures, so I decided to make this post a picture blog. As the saying goes, "sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words." (If you click on the pictures, they will enlarge, but then you can't see my captions.)

Friday

 

Awstin is fascinated by Chip's eating.

 

Going closer for a better look.



 

Checking each other out.



 

Looking to see if Chip is following him.



 

I  just love the cap!



 

 

He was so happy to be outside!

 

Just look at him go. I had to move fast to save him from going over the edge! 

 

Saturday

 

Uh. Mark, that highchair is a little small for you!

 

This little guy is growing up fast!

 

Alexis wanted Grandpa to take her for a barrel train ride. Lydia did not want to go but Mark was all excited about going too until...

 

...Grandpa started up the 4-wheeler. Mark's eyes got big and he begged me to get him out...

 

 

...so just one happy little girl went...

 

...oh and of course Chip accompanied them.

 

It started to rain, so I gave Alexis an umbrella.

 

Lydia and Mark look on wide-eyed as Grandpa and Alexis pass.

 

Chip got tired so came back to play with Lydia and Mark. He had cooled himself in the pond which is why he is wet.

 

Ahhh. Lydia has always loved Chip!

 

I love Mark laughing in the background.

 

They enjoyed playing in Chip's water.

 

 

Sunday

 

After a 2 1/2 hour drive we arrived.

 

Megan finds her seat.

  

 

Jeremy waits "patiently" for the ceremony to begin.

 

Standing for the processional.

 

The students flip their tassels to the left side and become official graduates of Penn State.

 

Lining up. Megan is 2nd to last.

 

Getting closer...

 

...and closer.

 

Receiving congratulations.

 

 

 

Somebody gave Megan flowers.

 

 

Oh..it was this guy...good job, Jeremy

 

We are so proud of her. Our first child to receive a college degree!

 

Looks like Steve "graduated" too.

Afterwards we went back to Megan's "adopted" family for supper. Megan stayed at their place during the past school year. From the sounds of it, both sides enjoyed each other's company very much. A big thank you to the Kauffman's for taking such good care of our daughter!
